Xmas Party and more

Xmas Party:
I know this was a week ago but I did not have time. :o)

Well the party went well. Food was good. The cubs seemed to have enjoyed all the games. Some were a bit sad that they did not get any prizes. Life is so tough hey ? :o)

I was a bit disappointed with the results of the "dress to impress". Most of the kids showed up with what they would typically wear to play in the school yard. Only two or three actually had ties, others had nice shirts while some had sweat pants and t-shirt ? Geez. :o)

I took some pictures but haven't posted yet. Stay tuned.

Points:
The Wolverine six is leading in points per cub. Let me explain:
Since this six has only 4 members while the other sixes have 5, it is not fair to consider the total points. I simply take the total and divide by the number of cubs in the six. I think this is an easy way to make it fair.

The Wolverines will have a pizza dinner paid by us on their 1st meeting back ( jan. 9th). Guys, please come earlier.

Pop Cans:
We're doing good. We now have a total of: $150.20

I want to wish everyone great holidays and all the best wishes.

Xmas Party - (changed from 19th to 12th)

Well, we're in December already. Man time sure flies.

Our last meeting of 2006 will be on December 12th. We're going to have a pot-luck type party (Please see Racksha for food ideas) and you'll have to "dress to impress". Wear tux, suit and tie, Sunday dress, evening gown or whatever you fancy but make it nice (ie: no jeans).

We'll play some games, give away prizes (not for free of course) :o)

FYI. I've regurgitated the above info in a handout that you will receive at tonight's meeting.

Hike in Larose Forest

Well, we had our Larose Forest hike this past weekend. What a beautiful day. It started off a bit chilly but warmed up quite nicely. I think we had the majority of the pack and they seem to have had fun.

The hike is less than one kilometer (or I don't think it's more). It felt quite longer last year because we had to pull a sleigh full of gear through the snow. (see these pics from last year) On the way the kids learn to stick together (buddy system) and learned about other rules of hiking in the wilderness.

Once arrived, we started by getting the fire pit ready and plan for our events. One half of the group learned how to start a fire while the 2nd half learned how to use: a hatched, an axe and saw. We trekked through the woods looking for spruce branches to fix the shelter we built last winter. The kids are learning that they should use spruce for the roof of a shelter and fir branches for bedding. (remember spruce on the roof, fir on your back)


All in all it was a good day.
Here are some pictures of the weekend hike.

PS: For those of you reading this and are not from the area you're probably wondering where the Larose forest is. Here's a good website with tons of info: http://www.ofnc.ca/conservation/larose/laroseforest.php
